He didn't speak to his mother, but to his uncle instead. He even asked his uncle to pass the message to his mother.
Zai Chun's attitude made Ci Xi so angry that his head was about to burst. She pointed at his unfilial son and trembled so much that he couldn't even speak properly, ”You …” You... ”You're really great …”
Zai Chun might really be a little rebellious in his adolescence, but he was always a little furious towards this mother.
At that time, they didn't pay much attention to the psychology of puberty, and people didn't understand that this was a special psychological cycle, so when they met this kind of child, most people would just say that he was unfilial!
Actually, it's not unfilial. This is an inevitable experience for people to mature, from relying on their parents to becoming a natural person who can be responsible for them.
There would definitely be a period of rebellion. This was a process of breaking free from the restraints of one's parents and becoming a butterfly!
What Zai Chun needed right now was guidance, patience, and more love and security! Unfortunately, these things were extremely rare in the world of emperors!
Ci Xi did not understand these principles, moreover, this mother's political ambitions were extremely strong! Today, Zai Chun was already in a bad mood after getting scolded by General Xie. However, he did not expect that when his own mother went back to punish him, he still wanted to use his private money!
All the scolding, scolding, and words for you, in the end, are just the paving of money!
What's the difference between what you do and what other people do? How does this make your son view you, his own mother?
Prince Kung has already sold it for six hundred and fifty thousand silver, and that's already so noisy that it's unsettling. You, Ci Xi, extended your hand and asked for ten million?
Did they really think that Zai Chun was a fool? Zai Chun was not stupid, he was extremely smart, and with the help of Xiao Letian and Europa's knowledge and education, he was even smarter!
Isn't Ci Xi trying to steal money for you?
Alright, then I'll tell you where the money is if you want it. The money is in Gordon's hands, go and take it!
Zai Chun did not lie to Ci Xi. 90% of the British military support was in Gordon's hands!
Would the British really be negligent and give Tongzhi tens of millions of silver taels for free? Or do you want to exchange the bank notes to give you a few certificates of deposit with a large amount of money?
Wrong! Don't think of the Western Bankers as a fool, and especially don't think of the English politicians as idiots!
On one hand, Gordon came to China to assist Tongzhi in his personal affairs, and on the other hand, he was the biggest auditor of the funds.
This is the same as doing business. Can't I invest so much that I can't even send an audit supervisor? I still have to guard against you discrediting my silver!
In fact, most of the British military aid is a type of option, is a verbal commitment, we previously reached a memorandum-style consensus!
After that, if you, Zai Chun, are able to fulfill your promise and the situation really develops in the direction that the British imagined, they will give you money!
Gordon saw that you Zai Chun had kept your promise, you really want to build a big iron factory and a railway, and you really want to allow British capital to enter … Don't worry, as long as you, Zai Chun can accomplish it, those military support will definitely smoothly fall into your hands!
Gordon carried the seal of the Emperor of Tongzhi. He could withdraw pounds from any bank in the whole of Asia!
But, Gordon, if you find out that something is amiss, you, Zai Chun, will not be able to control the situation and give Britain all the benefits, then I am sorry, but you will not be able to give me the money even if you give me the seal!
Right now, Gordon was on his way, and a few days ago, he had already left Luoyang via a telegram. At most, he would arrive at the capital city in a month!
Looking at it now, Ci Xi could not even see a shadow of the pound!
